Lindsey Jenn November 6, 2026 0 Homeownership , Michigan Photo by Kindel Media In-person classes to be held in Southfield, virtual options available to all Michiganders; housing market in Michigan favorable to buyers. Gesher Human Services , one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, is offering Homebuyer Education Classes twice a month through the end of January. While the four-hour classes typically cost $50 for a family, this season the fees are being waived, to remove one extra barrier to families getting into a home that they can own. Such classes are a requirement for the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), Down Payment Assistance Program which provides $7,500-10,000 loans to families with limited incomes hoping to purchase a home.

The in-person classes will be held at Gesher’s headquarters in Southfield (29699 Southfield Road ) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; afternoon classes are
